Gemcitabine

Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug used primarily to treat certain types of cancer, including pancreatic, lung, bladder, and breast cancer. It works by interfering with the cancer cells' ability to grow and divide, ultimately leading to their death. Gemcitabine is often administered intravenously and may be part of a combination therapy with other medications. While it can be effective in managing cancer, like all chemotherapy drugs, it can also cause side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and decreased immunity, which require careful monitoring by healthcare professionals during treatment.
